But I'm pretty much straight down the libertarian platform. I watch MSNBC and read Salon.com and the social Kinja platforms just to better know my enemy.
It bugs me when self-labeled "libertarians" define the left as "the enemy."

The libertarian platform has three legs but people seem to only care about one.

Salon, et al, are very much of the opinion that certain personal freedoms ought to be infringed and removed. If the Left wants to restrict gun rights and insist that some apparatus be in place so as to restrict "privilege" at my expense, then what should I call them? I personally disagree with certain things that the Left hold dear, but I don't actively contribute to groups that would want to destroy or infringe upon those rights. Libertarians don't attempt to use the State as a means of force to exert their beliefs - the Left very much does.

I'm not sure how a group of people that are intently marching towards Marxist theory is anything *but* antithetical to Libertarian ideals. I'd like to hear your counterpoint.
